October baseball is back, which means it’s time to cancel what you’re doing at night for the next month and dive into the world of playoff baseball. People have officially chosen their team to bandwagon, and will soon be spending $35 on a hat that says “2017 World Series Champs”.

Here at BTB, we make sure we call our shots before the playoffs get too deep, and below are some of our writer’s picks for how they think the playoffs will go down:

The first episode of a weekly podcast that will cover every episode of Gossip Girl, from beginning to end. Listen to the Below the Belt Founding Fathers talk about the cast’s unusually long sideburns, how much of a creep Chuck Bass is, and the continuous sexual tension.

Here at Below the Belt Sports, we don’t just bring you hot takes. We bring you burning hot, five-alarm fire, Peruvian Puff Pepper, 1999 Britney Spears hot takes. Some of these takes are so hot, you could even refer to them as conspiracy theories.

For the first-ever BTBspiracies (name in progress), we look into whether or not Manny Ramirez followed Michael Vick’s dogfighting footsteps and organized a rat fighting ring in the green monster. We also discuss if he ever played with his genitals out or not, and if it was really a bat he was swinging with. Give it a listen to find out.

On the eve of one of the most entertaining sporting events in America, Below the Belt Sports brings you an exclusive interview with the #3 competitive eater in the world, Carmen Cincotti, as he prepares for the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest. We discuss how he got started, compare Carmen to Michael Jordan, his unusual nicknames, his impending relationship with Joey Chestnut and talk about why people who wear socks to bed want to watch the world burn.

There are moments in your life you just don’t forget. Your high school graduation. Getting married. The birth of your kids. Posting your first video to a college blog you and your friends from high school made. Well, we can cross another one of those off the bucket list today – no, Bert isn’t getting married, BTB Sports has posted their first ever video. Here goes nothing.

THE PREMISE

If you had one game to win, and the entire history the baseball to choose from, who would you put out on the field?

We drafted in a snake format, going from Bert, then Stanzo, and wrapping up with Dave.

You get a full infield and outfield, one starting pitcher, and one relief pitcher. NO DH. And of course, a manager.
